[Submission] !Salubri package

As a great lover of the Salubri Antitribu, i have some ideas to share with you :

Qawiyya el-Ghaduba
Salubri antitribu

[AUS]

[FOR]

[POT]

[VAL]

Capacity: 9

Group: 5

Advanced, Sabbat. Red List: Qawiyya can enter combat with any vampire as a  action.

[MERGED] Archbishop of Jerusalem. +1 Intercept.



Art : Juan Calle has done a great work with the basic version. I trust him for the advanced.



Why an adv version of Qawiyya ? First, i cannot deny that she is my favorite vamp. Second, i feel that the vtes version of Qawiyya is not really a good translation of her in the rpg. CF Road of Heaven : she is described as the true leader of a town, the "Lioness of Jerusalem". That's why i think she deserved a title. Therefore she seems to be quite attached to her land (her nature is Defender) so i gave her +1 intercept. I add AUS cause she's a 5th gen without all clan disc at sup and i think it's quite strange. The litle story of why Samiel had decided to embrace her depict her has rather relentless and strongly determined, the reasons for an included untap and +2 Str on the basic version. But she's Samiel child and a strong follower of the path of retribution. Her goal while still human was to defeat evil and i don't think it change once she became a vampire. She may even have true faith. So i gave her a rush only on vampires as no humans may be killed. It belong to God to judge them. It may be a bit inbalanced and may need some changes (add younger ? Restricted to Baali, Trem and !Trem ? ). I'm not really happy with that capa... Other idea i have was something close to Matasunta and Madeleine : at the end of each fight if the opposing minion is not ready his or her controler may pay one pool. If he or she does not you gain one pool.

Are they any !Sal lovers with other ideas ?



Crusader

Master: archetype.

Place this card on a vampire you control. This vampire equip a Bastard Sword from your library at no cost (shuffle afterwards). This is not an action and cannot be blocked. As long as this vampire have a Bastard Sword, strikes mades with it are with first strike and are considered to be hand strikes. Combat cards cannot deny the use of melee weapons by this vampire. A vampire can have only one archetype.

I think we all agree that melee weapons need some serious love. Tons of ideas here : www.vekn.net/forum/30-expansion-sets-a-card-ideas/55632-submission-melee-weapon-enhancers. I personaly love this option cause it bring the good ol' Bastard Sword from the dust and make them usefull. As much as i love my !Sal with Baseball Bats i really think that swords are more "appropriate" for them. This adress both the equip action, cost and grapple / drawing out problems. I don't think that !Sal have troubles against S:CE as they have access to Death Seeker and Telep Tracking. I fear that first strike may be a bit to much as they have acces to Sword of the Righteous... Replace it for a maneuver ?



Reclaim Campaign

Salubri antitribu

1 pool

Unique Master.

Put this card in play. During your master phase you can tap this card to gain 1 pool each time a ready minion controlled by your prey is burned or sent to torpor for the current turn. Any titled Sabbat vampire may call a referendum to burn this card as a +1 stealth political action.

And :



Avenging Campaign

Salubri antitribu

1 pool

Unique Master.

During your master phase you can tap this card to make your prey lose 1 pool each time one of his or her minion is burned or sent to torpor for the current turn. Any titled Sabbat vampire may call a referendum to burn this card as a +1 stealth political action.

CF Road of Heaven : the !Sal had launched a strong campaign to retake a bit of their lands. How to translate that in vtes ? In my mind, lands = ressources = pool. A war campaign is something proactive, the reason for this being only during your turn and require setup. The !Sal campaign was launched to reclaim their lands AND to kick some Trems for they have (or think they do) destroy our beloved Saulot the holly. The two campaigns works well together but require you to be focus on your prey wich opens windows for your prey. They can be removed by sabbat votes cause those plans may be opposed to others sabbat's plans. I saw those cards as greater schems the reason they are master but for game purpose they may be changed to actions or something else.



Help from the Chantry

Combat

Salubri antitribu

Only usable at the end of a round when both combatants are still ready and combat is about to end. Untap your vampire and chose an other Salubri antitribu you control. After this round, tap this vampire and begin another combat with the opposing minion.



Art : a !Sal standing with a sword pointing a vampire running. Something like Telep Tracking.



A kind of Psyche for !Sal to despict that they exist as Chantrys within the Sabbat. Can help for S:CE. I'm not sure for the untap part...



Powerbase : Jerusalem

Master

Master: unique location.

When this card is played or the controller of this card changes, the controller chooses a ready vampire he or she controls. During the controller's untap phase, you can add 1 blood from the blood bank to the chosen vampire or move 1 blood frome the chosen vampire to your pool. Any vampire may steal this location for his or her controller as a  action.

Master: unique location.
